Hirakata Park
Last update
Hirakata Park is the oldest amusement park in Japan that has been in continuous operation. This amusement park is a symbol of the Kansai region. It opened in 1912 and will celebrate its 113th anniversary in 2025. Located between Kyoto and Osaka, it is about 40 minutes from both locations. In particular, the amusement park is beloved by families, and it has prepared a lineup of roughly 40 attractions that anyone from age 0 and up can enjoy. You can even enjoy the changing of the seasons: Admire gorgeous roses in the rose garden in the spring, enjoy the pool in the summer, view beautiful, romantic illuminations in the fall and winter and go skating and enjoy playing in the snow in the winter. Our occasional anime and manga events are also popular.
